MADISON, Ill. (Nov. 13, 2026) – INDYCAR has unveiled the complete 2027 schedule for the INDY NXT by Firestone series, confirming that World Wide Technology Raceway will return on Sunday, June 13.
This event will mark the seventh stop on the 15-race calendar for the developmental open-wheel series. It will kick off a doubleheader on Sunday, with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race scheduled to take place later that evening. The 1.25-mile oval will provide the rising stars of INDYCAR with their first oval racing challenge of the season.
Myles Rowe from Abel Motorsports with Force Indy made a notable mark during the 2026 INDY NXT by Firestone race at the venue. Rowe, starting from last position (24th), achieved a remarkable victory, setting a series record for winning from the lowest starting position. He secured the win by holding off a late challenge during a restart with eight laps remaining, finishing 2.2 seconds ahead of the competition.
The INDY NXT by Firestone series has been a steppingstone for talented drivers, including Kyle Kirkwood, who won the 2025 Bommarito Automotive Group 500, and Nikita Johnson, the 2026 INDY NXT champion, who is set to advance to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES in 2027.
